That would be (1.8 / 10) * 100

= 0.18 * 100

= 18%  answer

Remark

This is a very interesting application of math question. Thanks for posting.

The tricky part is interpreting the 1.8 grams. Is it the dry matter? Or is 8.2 grams the dry matter? It turns out that the dry matter is just the 1.8 grams because dehydration means getting rid of the water in a sample.

Formula

% dry matter = (dry matter/ total mass of the sample)* 100%

Givens

dry matter = 1.8 grams

Total Mass of the Sample = 10 grams

Solve

Percent dry matter = (1.8/10) * 100%

Percent dry matter = 18%

Determine whether ⊂, ⊆, both, or neither can be placed in the blank to make the following true. {prosciutto, olives, kumquats, l
DochEvi [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two sets of elements, we will call them A and B. Let's remember what does each symbol represents:

We say that A ⊆ B (A is included in B) if every element of A is also an element of B.

We say that A ⊂ B (A is strictly included in B) if every element of A is also an element of B, but there is at least one element of B that's not an element of A.

If we look our sets, we can see that all the elements on the second set are included on the first one. But the olives are on the first set and not in the second one. Therefore, the symbol that can be placed in the blank is   ⊃.

If we only can use ⊂ or ⊆, without changes, the answer would be neither.

1. Find the area of the unshaded square
e-lub [12.9K]

The large square is 6 by 6 so it has area 6*6 = 36

The small square is 2 by 2 (since 6-2-2 = 2), so it has area 2*2 = 4

The difference in areas is 36 - 4 = 32 which is the area of the shaded region

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary:

1. The unshaded square (smallest square) has area 4 square inches

2. The area of the large square is 36 square inches

3. The shaded region (area of the frame) has area 32 square inches
